My arteries and the territories: The Ben & Jerry’s boycott
By
Alan Edelstein
The decision is just clueless virtue-signaling that won’t make Israelis more likely to take risks and make concessions. Instead, it reinforces the hardliners
Ben Sales
How ‘Ted Lasso’ and Allen Iverson explain the uproar over Ben & Jerry’s
It’s all about practice. Political centrists who slammed the ice cream company’s settlement pullout see it as part of a long game that Israel will ultimately lose
Hillel Schenker
Ben & Jerry’s did the right thing
Boycotting the settlements is not boycotting Israel, it is reaffirming the need to end the occupation based on a negotiated two-state solution
Bishara A. Bahbah
A call to the nations: Help save the Palestinians from their leaders
The PA and Hamas hold power through brutality and squelch opposition by denying basic civil rights. Abbas must no longer be Israel’s and America’s ‘man in Ramallah’
Ruth Peri
How Israelis and Gazans ended up behind bars in Bulgaria
They were 5 terrified young men shivering in the Bulgarian forest. I tried my best to explain to the border police why Israelis would help Palestinians
Trauma and pink slushies after the Shaloh Jewish school stabbing
By
Lisa Fliegel
There were transcendent moments during a visit by our multi-ethnic mental health team to a Chabad school where, as one child put it, he had seen ‘so much blood’
Elazar Stern
Israel needs a Judaism that is more personal and accountable
Busting the kashrut monopoly represents a return to an age-old form of rabbinic authority, and heals the damage of public distrust in state religious institutions
Sharon Nazarian
Growing antisemitism reminds us that AMIA victims need justice, now
Argentina took years to recognize the 1994 bombing that killed 85 people as a national – not just Jewish — tragedy. And still, no one has been arrested or prosecuted
David Breakstone
We even fight over antisemitism. I suppose that’s why the Temple fell.
With American Jewry so sorely divided, there is a risk this internal strife will prevent us from warding off the clear and present dangers we are facing
David I. Bernstein
A lot has changed since I began guiding student trips to Poland
Survivors no longer participate, the educators know more, Poland itself is different, and there’s little ’shock value’ for the kids. So why keep doing it?
It’s #MyOrthodoxLife and I’m standing up for it
By
Leslie Ginsparg Klein
Hey, Netflix! My peers and I are not dowdy, backward, uneducated, or oppressed. We are Orthodox women leading happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives
David Wolpe
Love and betrayal in France
In the country that showed love for Jews and also spawned Vichy and jailed Dreyfus, living in fear may be foolish, but denial is unwise
A peaceful way to restore the Jerusalem Temple
By
Allen S. Maller
In cooperation with Muslims, a hologram of a Jewish house of worship could be projected worldwide from a small space adjacent to the Dome of the Rock
Yakov Nagen
Dr. Muhammed’s mezuzah and the talisman of the Angel Raphael
Non-Jews’ desire to affix God’s name to the entrance of their homes realizes the prophetic vision that all humanity will unite to call God’s name together
Elisha Wiesel
Tisha b’Av is over, and it’s time to rebuild
In organizing the Washington rally against antisemitism, critics attacked from left and right. The event wasn’t perfect, but it was necessary
Analysis
Lili Eylon
‘A voice called and I went’: Hanna Szenes’ centenary
The famous parachutist was a hero and a martyr, but those who loved her wish she’d been neither, and instead had come home to grow old with them on kibbutz
The birthplace of egalitarian thought
By
Joshua Berman
Throughout the ancient world, the truth was self-evident: all men were not created equal. Sinai changed that
Top Ops
Houda Nonoo
At home in the Arabian Gulf, I’ve never felt unsafe as a Jew
While antisemitism is on the rise in the West, it is not an issue here in the region, including in Bahrain. That’s why more Jews are coming to the GCC.
Yedidia Stern
High Court gender segregation ruling provides for ‘A Room of Their Own’
In agreeing to limited separation in academia, the Court rejected the extreme positions of both the Haredim and those who oppose them
Naomi Chazan
A greedy coalition
The ’change government’ undermines Israel’s democracy when it sets out to weaken the opposition. It should correct course and ensure a fair fight in the Knesset
Leon Wiener Dow
Eyewitness to the irony of destruction in Jerusalem
On Tisha B’Av, at the very rocks that remain from the destroyed Temple, Jews raged at each other on the precipice of violence
Zack Rothbart
Did illicit love lead England to expel its Jews?
The harshest edicts against Britain’s Jews may not have been issued because a couple of Dominicans converted to Judaism, but the timing is certainly convenient
Steven Exler
Bewilderment, heartbreak, and pain: Mourning Lod
The city was alone because its residents suddenly felt alone: they couldn’t speak to each other; something had snapped in the people they had considered friends
